Wow. I wonder if that's the reason they took it down. Something I'm curious about is why he blurred out on his bank statement the Punta Cana withdrawals that were made on the same days as the India withdrawals. That proved to the bank on the first same-day Punta Cana and India withdrawals that something was wrong there, not to mention the few other same-day PC and India withdrawals. He wasn't in both places on the same day. So if the story is true, the bank was negligent there by not locking his account as a common sense measure and shoud've waited til he got in contact with them to unlock it. I know he's responsible for his identity, but banks also bear responsibility which is why they have anti-fraud measures in place. So why would he blurr those out for us. Who knows.

I think the India items were via Western Union. He has a history of sending funds via Western Union, so those would not be in the same genre as using a debit card in Punta Cana.

I am surely not the only person that questioned how much money BikeKing had when he revealed he was living out of his car?

Lol @ anyone who takes any of this seriously.... Santa isn't real guys

Is there any bank, other than this one apparently, that will call you, suspecting fraud, and when you don't answer say, "Oh well, I guess it's ok." Not once, but 3 times. lol, no.

What is the motivation to make this up? More followers? Get out of paying some debts? I'm not saying it is untrue, just wondering why you think he would fabricate his story?

Im still #teamsupernerd

But I just wished he would respond and answer questions without getting all bitchy about it. You decided to put your life on the internet, dont be surprised when super sleuths ask questions.

Glad he is ignoring all the questions because they will never stop. Not just for this incident but every little thing moving forward. Much better life +ev for him to keep doing his thing and not worrying about pleasing a bunch of internet haters

Broke degenerate gambler wants to gamble in Vegas with the little money he has. Makes him feel good to know people care about his story but knows he has to make his story one of success in order to get that attention...

"Haters back off!" BikeKing is the Miranda Sings in poker.

I have been in Vegas a couple of times and I have seen many homeless professional gamblers. They usually live on the strip, build their roll by crowdfunding, and when they feel a jackpot is going to hit, they go in and play. They survived life on the street long enough to know they can't trust banks. They store their funds in a used starbucks cup knowing no sane person will set up a scam for that.

BikeKing is one them. Broke, homeless, no real other options. He is fighting for life at the poker tables. Fascinated by the the stories of the pros, he is trying to document some kind of story for himself. Whether his story is complete BS or all true doesn't really matter for me. As long as people like him keep injecting whatever money they have at the tables I can keep winning some money as a recreational player.

He chose a hustler's life and got hustled, be it by loosing at poker, or by having his bank account emptied. The results stay the same: he is broke and homeless. He'll need a ton of support if he wants to have a chance at life.

I have worked in banking for the past 15 years at one of the big 3 banks and can tell you first hand that fraud and compromises are real and very prevelant. From identity theft to skimmers at the gas station pumps to buying 16 digit account numbers. 1 in every 3 cards right now (debit or credit) ARE compromised. Each banks handles compromises differently. The bank I work for blocks and reissues right away. Even if the cardholder has not responded back to any phone calls or emails. I receive calls daily with 5k plus in fraud on individial and corporate billed accounts. Bikeking has no reason to make anything up, he is living his life the way he wants to and bringing people along for the journey. The fact that this came out of a checking account is why it’s going to take some time for resolution in my opinion. Had this been a credit card, there would have been 0 impact and this would have been a non issue.

He has other options. For one, he can move back to his parents house in florida. Or he can go back to working in aviation repair like he claimed.

Sorry I don't believe he is telling the truth here about the bank statement. And he will not answer questions to clear his name.

Are you talking just liquid cash in the bank or assets like 401K, real estate and other investments. If so I don't see anyone saying $43K is a lot. TBC doesn't count.

Why doesn’t TBC count? Vegas is filled with people in much worse shape than he is. They’re not thinking about investments, etc.

What does TBC mean ?

The man, the myth, the legend..

The part I am most curious about is how to get an aviation job paying ~$800/day, even if they are short-term contracts that require traveling. What are these jobs and how can I get one? What type of degree or experience do they require? If this was an option for me I would take as many of these contracts as possible. Low limit poker can wait for an opportunity like that.

Right?
Where the heck u gonna make $800 a day playing 1/3NL?
Take the job, easy game. Play occasionally on the side

Because taking a job - even if it is 100 percent the right thing to do - means others will say you have failed at poker.

Glad to see that Bikeking was in the last Brad Owen video, very glad he's playing and not broke

link? i must have missed this

Bikeking has ignored my twitter requests for clarification about the poker news article or bank statement issues.

You saw him playing 2-5? I didn't. I just saw him at the post-game bar at the end. I just saw Andrew and Pokerkraut playing

LOL so now what are u gonna do with all your free time

At $800/day, they can say whatever they want. I will laugh all the way to the bank.
